Pro Photos
In order for a photo to be designated with the "pro" status one of two things must happen:
- A photo must have a rating of or higher than 4 after 50 votes.
- An administrator can promote the photo.
Rating Photos
The Star Rating system is provided, along with the commenting system, as a way for members to both give and receive constructive criticism, advice on making better photographs, and to voice opinions about the photographs. All members are urged to give both star ratings and comments to any and all photographs, but especially those that evoke some kind of emotional response. It is only through this interaction can members give and receive the communication needed for any thriving community.
Below is the accepted definitions of each rating star: (Please keep these definitions in mind when you rate a photo)
1 Star - Generally poor, needs major work.
2 Stars - Technically okay, needs work.
3 Stars - Overall a good image.
4 Stars - Good technicals, exposure, composition. Very nice.
5 Stars - Excellent on all counts. A great photograph.
Photo Awards
Photos that maintain a rating a 4 stars or 5 stars are given a Photo Award. However, you can lose that rating if enough people rate your photo less than a 4 or 5 and the overall average dips below that threshold. A photo award can increase from a 4 star award to a 5 star by receiving higher ratings from other members.
Only registered members can award star ratings to photos submitted.
4 Star Award - Maintaining a 4-star average. A Good Photograph Overall
5 Star Award - Excellent! A Great Photograph On All Levels.
Most Viewed - Currently the most viewed photo in the Member Gallery

This is a beautiful photograph. I haven’t had the opportunity to capture running water yet, but I hope when I do it turns out at awesome as this photograph. I love the perspective you choose for this shot. The rocks have a great color and texture. I think you choose the correct settings on your camera for this shot. The only thing I noticed was the leaves in the far upper left hand corner are slightly blurred. That may have been from wind or maybe even from the fast moving water. I’m not sure how you could have corrected that. Maybe trim those damn leaves down a little. LOL! Otherwise, I think it’s a great shot!

The sharpness is incredible on the rocks especially. It is like I am standing right there. I intended this as a comment.

The level bridge over the water tells us a few things. It shows that you studied the composition well, made sure everything was just as you saw it in your mind’s eye. Excellent work. The aperture choice was great, but what I find confusing is your decision to use Aperture priority. Since you are shooting moving water, right there in the foreground, you allow your camera to choose the shutter speed. Don’t quite jive with how I would have done, although the results are excellent. You could have switched to manual and used the EV to balance out your exposure, in other words, if you wanted to stay with f20, yet you wanted to extend the shutter speed a little for more silky water movement, the EV adjustment would have been a good choice. But like I said, the end result of YOUR photo is excellent despite our different approach. The only thing I would have done is give the water a 2 second exposure, but that’s my choice, it doesn’t reflect the level of excellence in yours.
Viewers should load the larger version of this photo to see just how sharp, how much DoF there is in this. A terrific photo.

Thanks for the advice Julia! I have 2 kids and a wife waiting in the car for this shot to be over, so that we can go get dinner. I went with the quickest solution. It s hard to get any photography that isnt rushed when I m on vacation. You should have seen what I had to go through to get my waterfall shots recently. Carrying a two year old and a camera through a steep park aint easy.
